Predict the major organic product of the reaction between N-methylbenzamide and sodium propanoate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction between N-methylbenzamide and sodium propanoate does not lead to any of the products listed. N-methylbenzamide is an amide, and sodium propanoate is a carboxylate salt. There is no simple reaction pathway under typical conditions that would directly link these two compounds to form a new amide, ester, or anhydride. Therefore, the correct answer is that there is no reaction under standard conditions.
